I think I know what the problem is, I just don't have the solution 
yet. 
 
When I go to Sourceforge and click on a download link, the browser is 
sent to a list of mirror sites. When I click on a mirror the automatic 
download starts. At this point a dialog box comes up giving me the 
option to "save as" "open" or "cancel". There is also a check box for 
"Do not ask again". My guess is at some point this check box was 
selected with the "Open" selection so you would automatically open 
every file. Unfortunately I haven't found where to undo this yet. I 
would look in your .kde/share/config/konquerorrc file.
